Jap Ambitions Doomed, Says Legion Leader

Sees U. S. Promoting, Preserving Peace

"We shall win, and win definite­ly and conclusively. Of tha t there

I is not the least possible doubt. No power in the world, or combination of powers, can successfully combat a really aroused America. And when we have ended the task foist­ed upon us by a treacherous and cowardly a t tack, there no longer will exist a Japan that can call herself an important member of the world's peace-loving family of nations."

These were the declarations made last night by Lynn U. Stam­baugh of Fargo, N. D., national commander of the American Le­gion, a t a dinner dance in Hotel Stat ler given in his honor by the Eighth District of the American Legion, Department of New York. Sees Ambitions Doomed

"We shall, in the end, leave no doubt in the J a p mind as to whether America can be conquered or whether America shall bend the knee to treachery and deceit," Commander Stambaugh asserted. " Japan shall know, when the end is come, tha t her ambitions also have definitely come to an end, ambitions tha t have their fulcrum in the master maniac, the chief emissary from the nether world, Adolf Hitler of Berlin, who de­luded the Nipponese into making their s tab in the back while he was being soundly spanked on the •now-covered plains of Russia.

"We of the Legion are aware t h a t the problems of winning a war are not the only problems to be considered. We served in the last war, we helped win tha t last war, and we gained peace for a time. But we saw all tha t we fought for tossed to the four winds by thos* who came after­ward.

"This time it shall be different. Hit ler wants peace and he isn't fooling. But he wants a peasce brought about by the purging of other nations, a peace of subjuga­tion and enslavement. We want peace, but we want a peace of equality, of freedom and of human rights. We know we can' t t rus t Germany to establish tha t kind of peace. There is one nation, and one nation only, t ha t can do so. Tha t is the United States of America. W o n t Play Ostrich

"We shall not again be deluded Into scrapping our Navy, reducing our Army. We shall not play ostrich. We shall promote a front t ha t will be s t rong enough to pro­mote peace and to preserve it. America 's destiny does not lie in bending the knee to tyrants ."

County Commander Alfred A. Fi tch was honorary chairman of the event, with Dr. Joseph R. Hawn of Brounschidle Post as gen­eral chairman. Chief Judge John A. Hillery of city court was toast-master .

At the speakers ' table were Sta te Commander Jacob Ark of Rochester; John E. O'Hern, s tate vice-commander; George A. Mead, past s ta te commander; George A. Leber, eighth district commander; Mrs. Howard King, eighth district auxiliary chairman; Jack Wil­liams, aide to the national com­mander; Maurice Stember, s ta te adjutant ; Mayor Joseph J . Kelly; Fire Commissioner John J. Tu-bridy; C. F . Sargent, manager of the Veterans ' Facility a t Batavia; the Rev. Joseph A. Bach, county chaplain, and George Howard, last surviving local member of the GAR.

Mrs. George C. Aronstamm was soloist, accompanied by Mrs. Leo V, Lanning a t the piano.

Assisting in arrangements were Leo V. Lanning, Edward J. Culli-gan, Edward T. Je t ter and Clar­ence E. Conway.

War Fund Lags, With Only Ten Davs to Go

Epstein Quits Sewer Board For New Post

Chairman Daniel H. McCar-riagher of the Buffalo Sewer Au­thor i ty announced last night tha t he had accepted the resignation of Harold Epstein as general manager. ,

The engineer is leaving his $8,600, post to become associated with the Foundation Company of New York City, by which he was employed before coming to Buf­falo. In his new capacity, hs will be engaged in the construction of war projects. Came Here in 1935

Epstein came to Buffalo in 1935 as project engineer on the con­struction of Buffalo's $15,000,000 intercepting system and disposal plant as a PWA project. He was made general manager of the au­thority on July 1, 1938.

Describing Epstein's resignation as a "distinct loss" to the au­thority, McCarriagher said "he has rendered an outstanding service to the authori ty and the citizens of Buffalo."

" I hope to retain his services until March 1st, so he can assist us in preparing next year 's $1,500,-000 budget, work on which is un­der way," he continued.

"The work I have done with Mr. Epstein so far in the preparation of this budget indicates I may be able this year to make a substan­tial reduction in the amount which will be required from real prop­erty assessments."

Record of Tire Numbers Asked

Detective Chief Thomas V. Meegan last night asked auto­mobile owners to keep a rec­ord of the make, size and serial numbers of their tires.

"The new rationing order by the government may result in a wave of tire stealing," Mee­gan declared. "If a car is stripped of its tires, knowing the serial numbers may assist us in making recovery and ar­resting the thief."

Grass Fire Club To Guard Airport

Members of Joe Niebert 's Grass Fire Club last night voted unani­mously to place themselves a t the disposal of defense authorities for emergency call to protect the Mu­nicipal Airport and the adjoining Curtiss plant should the occasion arise.

Meeting a t The Hanger, opposite the airport, members installed these officers: Honorary chief ranger, Joe Niebert; chief ranger, George Shields; first assistant, Na t Duffy; second assistant, Joe Stautch; second assistant, Jack Messmer; recording secretary, Leonard Wutz; financial secretary, Peter Smith; treasurer, John Manguen; sergeant-at-arms, Hank Weber; trustees, Don Chamberlain, Willard McCarthy, John Liv­ingston, Louis Kieffer; legal ad­viser, Michael Maher.

With only ten days remaining in the Red Cross W a r Relief Fund campaign, the total subscribed has not yet reached the halfway mark in the $550,000 drive, i t was an­nounced last night* at headquarters in the Walbridge Building. Yester­day's report showed only $230,-056.65, less than 42 per cent of the quota. ~"—"~

Henry W. Wendt, general chair­man, ascribed the lag to delayed reports from employe groups and the residential solicitation division. Co-operation Asked

"I t is a tremendous undertaking to organize a volunteer force of some 7,000 solicitors, contact plant management in the hundreds of Buffalo area industries and instruct the men and women making the house - to - house canvass," Wendt explained. "The outlook is not too promising, but we have a good chance to reach our goal with the co-operation of every employed person."

Meanwhile, members of the speakers ' bureau, under the chair­manship of William D. Roesser, have made 124 talks on behalf of the fund, many of them a t plant rallies. Workers are being asked to contribute a day's pay "out of consideration for the boys in ser­vice who are risking their lives for $21 a month." The fund will apply as well to civilian victims of war disasters, i t was pointed out, and to equip the Red Cross to expand its services to meet any demands arising out of America's participa­tion in the war.

The Buffalo Chapter is mobiliz­ing its services and facilities on a wartime basis, Wendt announced, pointing out tha t 15 per cent of the total raised in the War Fund will be earmarked for disaster re­lief in the Buffalo area.

Cleaners' Plea Is Denied Again

Rejected twice by the Common Council, the application of Bluart Dry Cleaners, Inc., to use premises a t 607 Eas t Delavan Avenue as a dry cleaning plant and laundry was denied again yesterday by the Municipal Zoning Board of Ap­peals. The board, by unanimous Vote, denied the application in a decision handed down after a pub­lic hearing a week ago. Residents of the neighborhood protested the application on the ground it would create a public nuisance.

Pending receipt of further in­formation from the federal govern­ment, the board postponed con­sideration of two applications for permissiin to erect gasoline serv­ice stations. The government has placed a ban on such construction as a war emergency measure. The applications were filed by Clara Woodruff for a stat ion a t 2170 South Pa rk Avenue, and Henry Hoch for a station at 2723-31 Del­aware Avenue.

THESE WOME.N . By cPAlessio

Buffalo police and agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation last night were t rying to link two men, ©ne under indictment in De­troit In connection with a $64,740 bank holdup, with the theft Sun­day of $176,550 in federal food s tamp* from a safe in the County Building a t 134 West Eagle Street.

The ar res ts came as a result of a " t ip" to Detective Sergt. Richard H. Mafic, one of sev­eral policemen investigating the food s tamp job. Shortly after 9 a. m. yesterday,

Mack received an anonymous phone call telling him he would find a pair of bank holdup men in a Weft Side home. He immedi­ately notified Detective Chief Thorns* V. Meegan who led a squad to the address. Accompany­ing Mack and Meegan were Detec­tive Spergts. William Osieja, Ed­ward Beitz and Clarence McGee. Four Taken Into Custody

Taken into custody were a man, identified as Charles Monazyn, 30, of Detroit, under indictment in connection with the bank holdup in May, 1936; a Buffalo man well known to police, and two women.

A search of the premises re­sulted in the discovery of a small arsenal in a suitcase. Included were three automatic pistols, a revolver, six automatic clips and 50 rounds of ammunition.

When the policemen dis­covered the weapons, they re­ported, Monazyn at tempted to a t tack Mack, but was quickly subdued. Detective Chief Meegan said a

check of files in the identification division revealed the government had sent out circulars for Mon­azyn. One man has been con­victed for the Detroit bank job and is aerving a 25-year peniten­t iary sentence, Meegan said.

The chief notified the local FBI office and Detroit police tha t Monazyn was in custody and De­tective Chief Paul Wencel of De­troit wired tha t he would forward warrants to Buffalo. However, Meegan said the suspect would not be turned over unti l Buffalo police have questioned him in con­nection with several holdups in this area.

Whea questioned a t headquar­ters Monazyn a t first denied the identification. However, when he was shown the circular bearing his photograph and fingerprints, he admitted it.

Chief Meegan said victims of re­cent holdups in Buffalo and near­by towns have been requested to attend a special showup today. He added tha t as a result of the ar­rests, he was confident the food s tamp job may be cleared before long. However, he refused to make any further comment.

Police yesterday seized this small arsenal, including three automa­tics, a revolver and ammunition, after the roundup of four persons, including a suspect in a bank robbery. Examining the confiscated weapons and ammunition are, left to right, Detective Chief Thomas V. Meegan and Detective Sergts. Richard Mack and William Osieja.

Court Here Bans Suit in Florida

Justice John V. Maloney of su­preme court ruled yesterday tha t Joseph Williams of Athol Springs should be restrained from prose­cuting a $200,000 damage suit in Florida which alleges alienation of affections of his wife, Ida, by Mitchell Morad, a former par tner in a Lacwakanna theatrical enter­prise.

Such suits are barred by law in this s tate .

"The plaintiff in this action (Morad) brings it against the de­fendant for an injunction to en­join and restrain the defendant from further prosecuting an action now pending in the circuit court in and for Dade County, Florida," Justice Maloney wrote.

'The respective parties and their families were close friends and neighbors residing a t Athol Springs. If the defendant (Wil­liams) is allowed to continue to prosecute his Florida action he will greatly . . . wrong and injure the plaintiff. I t would be contrary to equity and good conscience to let him do so."

The court pointed out tha t Wil­liams is the plaintiff in the Florida

action, but was a defendant in one heard by Justice Maloney here. Both families were in Florida in 1941.
